Does it continue to show up if you create a new user account and log in there, or in Safe Mode?

I'll take the screenshots and post them. I'm just starting the work-week so it might take me a little bit as I have to wait until I see the popup again. I haven't done a new user account nor safe mode. I can't remember how to get to safe mode for Win8. Lol. It's been a while.

Do you have your account set up as a domain account and also attached to a Microsoft account?

It is attached to a Microsoft Account.

there are a few ways to get to safe mode now

1. hold shift while the machine is powering on

2. hold shift and press restart from the charms menu

3. go to the recovery options in the metro control panel. there should be an option to reboot into adv options

So I right clicked that entry and told it to just include that. Also added a filter for consent.exe. Also add a filter for

Path / Ends with / .exe / include.

Once you click accept on the UAC a single exe file should show up.

Then as a test, I ran CMD as admin and saw this ...Ta Da!

Ok, I'll give this a shot the next time it happens. I haven't been able to do anything yet. Work has been super busy and when I'm home, it hadn't happened. I'll try and get it to happen tomorrow. Lol. Thanks for your help. I'll post back as soon as I have more information with what you suggested.
